My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 433 - 434: Humans Treated Like Livestock!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
At the decisive moment!
An invisible wave of Spiritual Power struck, piercing directly into the skull of the low-tier Demon Race!
"Ugh!"
The Demon Race’s charge came to a sudden halt, his raised bone blade frozen in mid-air.
An instant later, his body collapsed abruptly to the earth!
This was the work of Gu Xing.
While he didn't possess the formidable skills of a Guardian Beast...
Focusing his Spiritual Power into a needle-like strike was a simple task for him.
Admittedly, such a technique was ineffective against powerful peers of the same rank, typically only good for crushing the weak.
However, Gu Xing had already attained the Totem Level.
By utilizing this technique, he could effortlessly wipe out Monarch Level Demons; consequently, this Commander Level Demon stood no chance against him.
Having dealt with the threat, Gu Xing slowly materialized before the young girl.
He had many lingering questions that required clarification.
His attention focused on the child sitting on the ground, who was shivering with terror, her face drenched in tears.
He would seek answers from her!
Gu Xing’s eyes then drifted toward the corpses of the other miners who had just been slaughtered by the Demon Race.
He shifted his gaze toward Sally.
Sally immediately grasped Gu Xing’s intent.
Her small frame drifted upward as her hands wove a mysterious seal before her chest.
The pale gold clock sigil on her brow began to glow, manifesting the Time Law around her.
This law radiated outward, softly cloaking the bodies of the fallen miners.
A miracle unfolded before their eyes!
Blood that had poured from horrific gashes began to unnaturally flow back into the wounds.
The edges of severed limbs started to emit a soft radiance.
At the same time, several fading soul fragments—nearly on the brink of total dissipation—were forcibly recalled. They were gathered and slowly funneled back into their original bodies by the Power of Time.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Moments later, the miners who had been dead just seconds ago began to cough weakly, their chests starting to heave with breath!
Though their skin remained as pale as parchment and their breathing stayed shallow, they were undeniably...
Alive!
Gu Xing watched this without surprise.
Sally held dominion over time itself.
Furthermore, since these miners were just ordinary humans without even a Guardian Beast, resurrecting them required very little energy from her.
It was only then that Gu Xing realized something was wrong.
He hadn't spotted a single Guardian Beast among them!
It was common knowledge that on Blue Star, everyone—regardless of their background—participates in an awakening ceremony.
Even those with the poorest talent could usually become an Awakened Tier One and form a contract with their first Guardian Beast.
But here...
They were nothing more than common mortals!
"Daddy!!"
Witnessing her father's return to life, the girl cried out in shock.
She rushed over, grabbing her father's cold hand with all her might.
The surviving miners nearby, who had previously looked like walking corpses, were stunned by this divine display!
Their mouths hung open, and their eyes bulged like copper bells.
Watching their friends slowly revive and then looking at Sally and Gu Xing floating in the air—shimmering with an otherworldly glow—their minds went completely blank.
"Is this... could this be... the arrival of a legendary divinity?"
"Only a god would have the strength to bring the dead back to life, surely?!"
Ignoring the miners' bewilderment, Gu Xing knelt down to meet the little girl's eyes.
He spoke with a remarkably soft tone:
"Don't be scared, little one. Tell me, what place is this? Why is the Demon Race treating you all like this?"
Gu Xing’s voice seemed to possess a soothing quality, slowly washing away the girl's terror.
She looked up through tear-stained eyes, staring into Gu Xing’s calm, deep gaze, and sobbed out her answer:
"This... this is the Seventh Mine, part of Black Stone City..."
"We... we are people kidnapped by the Demon Race..."
Though her voice trembled with lingering fear, she slowly revealed the state of this world to Gu Xing.
By the time she finished, Gu Xing finally understood the situation.
In this realm ruled by the Demon Race, humans were the lowest form of resource.
The mighty Demon Race viewed them as nothing more than livestock to be hunted or butchered as they pleased.
Those who were slightly more durable or had some utility...
Were forced into various plantations, construction zones, or mines...
They performed the most back-breaking and lethal labor until they collapsed from exhaustion, disease, or were murdered by their captors. Their lives were as cheap as weeds.
This specific mine was governed by a nearby Demon Race settlement called "Black Stone City."
The primary objective here was the extraction of "Demon Stones."
These stones were essentially crystallized, high-density Demonic Qi, making them incredibly valuable for Demon Race cultivation.
As they spoke, an elderly miner shakily pulled a black, fist-sized stone from his clothes and offered it to Gu Xing with great respect:
"Divine Envoy... this is a Demon Stone..."
Gu Xing took the stone, and as his soul perception probed it, his mind recoiled in shock!
The aura of this stone...
It felt familiar!
Miffy in the first Divine Secret Realm and Mi Zhan at the Angel Base had both been corrupted by the Demon Race because of these very Demon Stones!
While Gu Xing was lost in his thoughts...
"Plop."
The old miner was the first to fall to his knees.
He bowed deeply toward Gu Xing and Sally, weeping tears of despair:
"Divine Envoy! I beg of you! Save us! Rescue the thousands of humans trapped in this mine! We... we can't survive this anymore!"
"Divine Envoy! Please save us!"
With the elder leading the way, all the other miners and the little girl followed suit.
They knelt together in unison.
They bowed before Gu Xing, their eyes filled with a desperate, pleading hope.
Looking at the starving, ragged humans before him whose eyes had been filled with nothing but numbness until now, Gu Xing fell into silence.
His original plan was to hunt for the Divine Pattern and avoid any distractions.
The Demon Abyss was a place of extreme peril, and any exposure could lead to catastrophic results.
But...
To watch his own kind be enslaved and butchered like cattle by the Demon Race while he possessed the power to intervene...
He simply couldn't turn away.
Furthermore, at that moment, someone was even more fired up than he was...
It was Long Qingyan, standing right beside him!
"Everyone, get up! There is no need to beg!"
Long Qingyan moved to the front, standing protectively before Gu Xing.
She looked over the kneeling crowd, her eyes ablaze with a fierce sense of justice!
"I will make this promise on Gu Xing's behalf!"
The Little Dragon Maiden raised her head, her voice ringing out clearly:
"We will save all of you, and every person in this mine being oppressed by the Demon Race!"
Gu Xing looked at the Little Dragon Maiden with a hint of surprise.
He noticed her clenched fists and how her cheeks were flushed with righteous anger.
How did she end up more intense than a member of the Dragon Race?
Nevertheless, Long Qingyan had voiced his own inner thoughts.
Since they had crossed paths, they had to be saved!
